This article aims to analyze the effects of constitutional amendment 95 on public spending, especially on higher education in Brazil. Under a qualitative and quantitative approach, the descriptive study with the application of the technical documentary procedure was used as a method. The objects of the analysis were the general budgets of the union and the specific budgets of the ministry of education in the period from 2016 to 2019. The data were consulted and taken from the federal government's “Treasury Management” system. The results showed that there is a discrepancy between all updated appropriations during the investigated period, both in the federal public administration information base (effective budget release and execution), and in the presidential message (document sent with the annual budget bill). Therefore, it can be said that there is preliminary evidence of a breach of the ceiling of the new tax regime. The evidence from this study collaborates with the literature by demonstrating the lack of practical effects of constitutional amendment 95.
Keywords: Constitutional Amendment 95; Fiscal Policy; Public Spending; Higher Education.
